I've verified this fix using the test case that I've just added to the bug description, so I think this can be considered done.
** Description changed: + [Test Case] + It's recommended to run this test in a VM or chroot. + 1. On Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, run 'sudo apt-get install nfs-common' + 2. Check that lucid-proposed is not enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list, and disable it if it is. + 3. Run 'sudo do-release-upgrade -d' to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. + 4. Confirm that the portmap package is still installed, and that rpcbind has not been installed + 5. Repeat step 1 on a fresh 10.04 LTS environment. + 6. Enable lucid-proposed in /etc/apt/sources.list. + 7. Repeat step 3. + 8. Confirm that the portmap package has been removed, and that rpcbind has been installed. + On upgrade from natty to oneiric, the old nfs-common got left behind because apt didn't want to replace portmap with rpcbind. $ sudo apt-get -oDebug::PkgProblemResolver=1 dist-upgrade Reading package lists...

Maybe it has to do with the old portmap being Priority: standard, and rpcbind being Priority: optional? ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/863741 Title: apt doesn't want to replace portmap with rpcbind on upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/863741/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
